Abstract

A sheet material guide (1) for guiding banknotes as a sheet material to a banknote processor used for service machines such as an automatic vending machine, an exchanging machine, pachinko ball dispensing machine and a medal dispensing machine, wherein banknote conveying path width changing means (21) comprises an arm (22) disposed in the banknote conveying direction and having both ends thereof rotatably supported on the side of an upper shoot (8) and a guide rotor (27) rotatably supported at an intermediate portion (22c) of the arm (22) in the banknote conveying direction of the arm (22) and having a plurality of sheet plates (23) having mutually different widths and radially disposed in the banknote conveying direction, and when one of the sheet plates (23) of the guide rotor (27) is disposed between upper and lower sheets (8, 2), the side (23b) of a sheet plate (23) defines the side surface of a banknote conveying path (12), thereby changing the width of the sheet material conveying path in multiple stages by a simple operation.
